Although the man enjoys the attention and envy that people around him is giving, he is also always in extreme fear that the Gumiho may want to feed on his liver to become human. But when both of them falls for each other as time goes by, the Gumiho's enemies appears causing an unexpected twist in their lives.

===================

Drama Characters

- Cha Dae Woong(Lee Seung Gi)

He lived a rather aimless life as the only grandson of a rich man and gets by without any big dreams or ambitions besides his goal of becoming an action star. He was raised by his grandfather and Aunt after his parents died when he was really young.

After he accidently sets free a nine-tails fox who was imprisoned in a seal, he was forced to live together with her. Although he becomes the envy of his friends when the fox impersonates as his girlfriend after taking a human form, he is constantly worrying that his liver will be eaten by her if he lets down his guards.

- Gu Mi Ho (Shin Min Ah)

She was freed by Cha Dae Woong after being trapped in the seal for a really long time. She loves to eat meat and has the ability to see, hear, smell and feel from a distance. She has greatly developed senses as she belongs to the tribe of mystic foxes which are deemed as monsters by humans. She forced her stay with Dae Woong as she doesn't know anything about the outside world during her long imprisonment.

- Park Dong Joo (Noh Min Woo)

He is hiding his cold sharp and intelligent character behind his mask of warm. He has been to Africa and extreme places around the world. He appears to have a vet doctor's license along an unknown history and background. He remains un-interested in anything until the appearance of the Gumiho. This is the mystery that he feels that he must do everything to solve.

- Eun Hye In(Park Su Jin)

Due to her fragile appearance and vibes of being a good wife and mother, Eun Hye In is an aspiring newcomer of a large agency. Although Dae Woong falls for her at first sight, she doesn't shows her interest in him until Mi Ho's appearance revoked her anger that Dae Woong's attention is drawn to another woman.

- Ban Doo Hong (Sung Dong Il)

He is the operations director of Korea's top martial arts school which Cha Dae Woong is attending. Although Ban Doo Hong is always laughing it off that his name is the same as one of Korea's top action film director "Jung Doo Hong", he becomes really serious as he tries to recruit Gu Mi Ho to the school after seeing her doing a good somersault.

- Ban Seon Nyeo (Hyo Min)

Ban Seon Nyeo is the daughter of the director of the acting school that Cha Dae Woong goes to. Unlike her name "Seon Nyeo" (Fairy), she is rough and tough like a boy. She is a very good friend of Dae Woong and Mi Ho. She is also one-sidedly in love with Dae Woong just like Byung Soo is having a crush on her.

- Cha Peung(Byun Hee Bong)

He is Cha Dae Woong's grandfather who raised him along with his aunt after his parents died.

- Cha Min Sook (Yoon Yoo Seon)

She is the spinster Aunt of Dae Woong who raised him since his parents died. Cute and innocent despite her age, she forms a love line with Dae Woong's action school director "Ban Doo Hong".

- Kim Byung Soo (Kim Ho Chang)

He is also a student at the action school where Dae Woong attends and is having a secret crush on Seon Nyeo.

i've just read that the main actress has been confirmed to be shin se kyung

i have very mixed feelings about this drama

when the hong sisters were talking about their ideas for this drama, everyone was going on about YB season 2

somehow it didnt quite register that this gumiho series was going to be a reality

but it has.... TTT that means no YB season 2 ...at least for now

and seung gi as the main.... mixed feelings about that too...esp last yr when ppl compared him to jgs's perf in YB (alright i'm sidetracking here)

and one more totally unrelated thing.... i'm a fan of min kyung hoon, and lately he keeps talking about how shin se kyung is his ideal girl, how he's attracted to her... i know nothing about her but i guess i will see for myself when i watch this

i will watch this nevertheless as i have watched all of Hong sisters' dramas....

Looking forward to this drama! Lee Seung-gi did great in Brilliant Legacy, he's got a lot of potential for a newbie actor I hope he'll continue to improve and deliver ^^ About the story... sounds weird, but it's the Hong sisters! If anyone can pull it off, they can. I wonder who the female lead actress will be... probably someone we haven't heard of before (as long as she can ACT).

Korean singer and actor Lee Seung-gi will be making a comeback to the small screen in a new TV series, his first since starring in the smash hit drama "Shining Inheritance" last year.

According to a source related to the new show tentatively titled in English "My Girlfriend is a Fox with Nine Tails," Lee recently decided to appear in the series and is in final stages of negotiations.

"Tails" is written by Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, a sister writing duo also known as 'The Hong Sisters' who previously penned dramas "Minamishineyo" (SBS, 2009) and "Hong Gil-dong" (KBS2, 2008).

"Lee himself was very interested and wanted to appear in a series written by the Hong Sisters," another source related to the drama was quoted as saying. "And from what I know, the Hong Sisters also thought that Lee would be a good fit to play the male lead."

The singer has been cast as the main male character who is terrified at first of the fox but eventually falls in love with her. The female lead actress has not been cast as of yet.

Lee, 23, debuted as a singer after being discovered and trained for two years by one of Korea's top female vocalists Lee Sun-hee. The popularity of his first single "Because You're My Girl", from debut album "The Dream of a Moth" released in 2004, turned the then-17-year-old into an overnight sensation especially among older female fans.

He crossed over to acting in 2005 in a guest role for MBC sitcom "Nonstop 5" and made his official debut in "Famous Princesses" (KBS2, 2006). But it was his turn in the hugely successful "Inheritance" that solidified his status as an actor -- the weekend drama topped the television ratings chart for ten consecutive weeks and peaked with a viewership rating of 47.1 percent.

"Tails", which is expected to air this summer, will start shooting around May.

==================

Sayroo, the drama that will air on KBS is not this drama. Although the theme of the nine-tail fox is the same but the KBS drama will be a Saguk horror call "The revenge of the nine-tail fox". So basically we will be having two dramas about the nine-tail fox this year.

Before I even got to that part: "Western countries have Dracula....." I knew that the story somehow patterns with Twilight. hmmm... I haven't seen any Korean dramas with special effects and stuff so I think this is really going to be interesting... Plus, It's Hong Sisters!

maybe this drama will help me re-enjoy a Hong drama. it has been a while since a watched one of their's. i've yet to see a story involving a gumiho (horror or otherwise) done well enough to catch my interest.

After writing such beloved, zesty dramas as You’re Beautiful and Hong Gil Dong, the Hong sisters are coming back with a fantasy drama called My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox), which has nabbed a slot in SBS’s upcoming schedule. It’ll take up the Wednesday-Thursday timeslot following the upcoming Kim Sun-ah ajumma-rock-band vehicle I Am Legend (which follows Prosecutor Princess).

The story features Lee Seung-gi as a somewhat wimpy dude who falls in love with a gumiho, which is a classic character in Korean folklore who looks human but eats organs to stay alive. He therefore lives in fear that she will steal his liver, unable to share his worries with his friends who all think he’s the luckiest guy alive to have such a gorgeous girlfriend. The female lead has not yet been selected, and producers are in the later stages of casting her.

This drama had been announced rather early in the process; initial news trickled out almost immediately after they’d finished You’re Beautiful last fall and the details were confirmed in the spring when they cast Lee Seung-gi as their lead. Unlike their other dramas, this one will be largely produced in advance. (Most of their other dramas have filmed at the frenetic pace that accompanies the live-shoot practice, which results in shows being filmed the week they air on television. Hong Gil Dong, as a larger-scale period drama, did begin filming months in advance, but toward the end they were still shooting as the drama aired.)

I’m very curious to see if advance production will affect the drama for the better — and whether this will allow the writers time to smooth out the angsty wrinkles that so often appear in their last few episodes. Regardless, the Hong sisters have a great track record and wonderful comic flair, so I’ll be watching for sure.

^ when it comes to casting, i'm assuming the PD has more say in the matter but how much say does a writer have in casting? [i didnt really pay attention to 'On Air'...]

how will they decide who's going to be the lead? wouldn't the PD want to listen to their writer(s) b/c the Hong sisters probably have this image of what the lead actress is and SSK fits their image? [wouldnt the PD want happy writers?]

huh - reading the plot line from the first post changed my view on this drama. i thought the gumiho was going to be this strong woman whom lee seung gi was attracted to, and then realized she was a gumiho but couldn't run away anymore.

it sounds like the gumiho is more of an innocent girl type... maybe i'm wrong? in that case - it also makes it sound like she's gonna be like go minam, except probably not as innocent?

anyways - it's hong sisters drama!!! i may not like shin se kyung, but i like lee seung gi!!
